Advanced R, Second Edition by Hadley Wickham

Advanced R presents useful tools and techniques for attacking many types of R programming problems, helping you avoid mistakes and dead ends. With more than ten years of experience programming in R, the author illustrates the elegance, beauty, and flexibility at the heart of R.

"The development of progressive data analysis tools that are technically excellent creates a superior opportunity for us as data science usersThe concepts of this book can enhance the overall user experience and increase the likelihood that the developed tools become preferred tools accomplishing the desired purpose. Learning from Wickham's vast experience in R coding improves tools that provide targeted users the ability to be more efficient, clearer R analysis code writers, better debuggers of their own syntax errors, and positioned to enjoy faster performance time. These are many of the advantages I have enjoyed using tidyverse developed by Wickham with the "Advanced R" philosophy." ~Technometrics

"The book is packed with a ton of information, insights, and knowledge drawn from the author's own experience. The approach will be appreciated by the right audience – the audience that is looking for a deeper understanding of the R language. At times, the writing style reveals a personal reflection of how the author's knowledge of the language has evolved. This is beautiful."
